Proteases digestivas do hepatopâncreas dos camarões marinhos Farfantepenaeus subtilis e Farfantepenaeus paulensis

No. of bitstreams: 1 license.txt: 1748 bytes, checksum: 8a4605be74aa9ea9d79846c1fba20a33 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Os camarões Farfantepenaeus subtilis e Farfantepenaeus paulensis são espécies nativas e aparecem como uma alternativa ao cultivo do Litopenaeus vannamei, que hoje corresponde a mais de 90% do cultivo de camarões marinhos da região nordeste. Proteases do hepatopâncreas de F. subtilis jovens e adultos e F. paulensis jovens foram estudadas quanto aos seguintes aspectos: inibição enzimática, pH e temperatura ótima, estabilidade térmica, eletroforese e zimogramas. No extrato bruto de F. subtilis, não houve diferenças significativas nas atividades proteolíticas em ambas as fases de vida utilizando azocaseína, leucina pnitroanilida (Leu-p-Nan) e substratos b-naftilamida (p³0,05). No entanto, as atividades tríptica (Benzoil arginina p-nitroanilida-BApNA) e quimotríptica (Succinil alanina alanina prolina fenilalanina p-nitroanilida-SAPNA) foram mais elevadas em jovens do que em adultos (p<0,05). Atividades de tripsina e quimotripsina também foram detectadas em F. paulensis. Tosil lisina clorometil cetona (TLCK) e benzamidina inibiram fortemente as atividades proteolíticas nos extratos de F. subtilis e F. paulensis. Tosil fenilalanina clorometil cetona (TPCK) foi capaz de inibir 59,34% da atividade de quimotripsina em F. paulensis utilizando SAPNA como substrato. A temperatura ótima para tripsina-símile e quimotripsina-símile em ambas as fases de vida foi 55°C, enquanto que para aminopeptidases houve uma diferença entre jovens (55°C) e adultos (45°C). Tripsina-símile reteve aproximadamente 15% de sua atividade inicial quando incubada a 55°C por 30 minutos, enquanto quimotripsina-símile e leucina aminopeptidase-símile retiveram 60% e 45% de atividade respectivamente. No extrato bruto de F. paulensis a tripsina-símile apresentou atividade máxima em pH 8,0 e temperatura ótima de 40°C. A atividade mais elevada de quimotripsina-símile foi detectada numa faixa de pH alcalino (7,2-9,0) e na temperatura de 55°C. O zimograma de estabilidade térmica apresentou um padrão similar de bandas com atividade proteolítica em F. subtilis jovens e adultos, exceto que o extrato de camarões juvenis apresentou uma banda termoestável a 65°C. PMSF inibiu todas as bandas proteolíticas. Duas isoformas de quimotripsina (31,6 e 36,4 kDa) foram estáveis a 85°C em F. paulensis. A caracterização de enzimas digestivas de camarões nativos pode gerar informações importantes para o entendimento da fisiologia e da capacidade digestiva destes organismos, principalmente pelo fato dessas enzimas estarem diretamente ligadas ao aproveitamento de aminoácidos dietários, sendo estes importantes fontes de monômeros para a síntese de proteínas funcionais que serão responsáveis por uma série de eventos fisiológicos como: crescimento, reprodução, defesa imunológica, entre outros

Caractérisation des aminopeptidases N du parasite Eimeria tenella et implication en tant que cibles thérapeutiques de nouvelle génération pour lutter contre les coccidioses aviaires / Identification and characterization of two aminopeptidases N of the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria tenella

Gras, Simon 06 December 2013 (has links)
Eimeria tenella est l’un des parasites apicomplexes à l’origine de la coccidiose aviaire, l’une des plus importantes maladies parasitaires de l’industrie avicole. Dans le but de caractériser les facteurs de pathogénicité d’E. tenella, nous nous sommes intéressés aux protéases et plus particulièrement aux aminopeptidases N. Nous avons caractérisé Et-ApN1 et identifié Et-ApN3, deux aminopeptidases d’E. tenella. Et-ApN1 présente de fortes homologies avec PfA-M1, l’homologue de Plasmodium falciparum, au niveau des séquences, des structures, des propriétés biochimiques, du clivage et de la localisation. L’ensemble des résultats suggèrent qu’Et-ApN1 est impliquée dans le développement parasitaire. Pour évaluer son rôle de cible thérapeutique potentielle, nous avons criblé une bibliothèque de molécules et identifié une nouvelle molécule le C36, qui inhibe directement l’activité d’Et-ApN1 et entraîne un arrêt du développement d’E. tenella in vitro. Cet effet inhibiteur est également observé chez Toxoplasma gondii et P. falciparum. Dans le but d’améliorer la solubilité du C36 pour de futures études in vivo, le C36 a été pharmaco-modulé. Les perspectives de ces travaux viseront à prouver l’implication directe des Et-ApN dans le développement d’E. tenella. / Eimeria tenella is an apicomplexan parasite causing avian coccidiosis, one of the most important parasitic diseases in world poultry industry. To identify E. tenella pathogenesis factors, we were interested in proteases and more specifically in aminopeptidases N. We characterized Et-ApN1 and identified Et-ApN3, two aminopeptidases of E. tenella. We revealed strong homologies in the sequences, structures, biochemical properties, cleavage patterns and localization between Et-ApN1 and PfA-M1, the homologue from Plasmodium falciparum. Taken together, our results suggest that, as PfA-M1, Et-ApN1 is involved in parasite development and could be considered as a therapeutic target. To confirm this hypothesis, we screened a small molecule library and identified the compound C36. This molecule not only inhibits Et-ApN1 but also the in vitro development of E. tenella. This inhibition of parasite development was also observed for Toxoplasma gondii and P. falciparum. In perspectives, a pharmaco-modulation approach will be performed to improve chemical properties of the compound C36. New molecules derived from C36 will then be tested in vivo. Future studies will aim to prove the direct implication of Et-ApN in E. tenella development.

Identification of novel strategies to radiosensitise tumour cells

Anbalagan, Selvakumar January 2014 (has links)
In this study we found that tumour cells can be radiosensitised by targeting the DNA damage response kinases, ATM and ATR. Furthermore, we highlight that Wee1 inhibitors, which are already under the clinical trials need to be further investigated in combination with radiation in the context of tumour hypoxia. In addition, we observed that induction of autophagy using STF-62247 can lead to radiosensitisation of VHL deficient RCC cells. Our studies with the rapamycin analogue temsirolimus, already in the clinic for the treatment of various cancers, can be a potential candidate as a radiosensitiser for RCC cells. Overall, these finding led us to investigate further whether autophagy inducing compounds, which are either in clinic or in clinical trials, can effect the response to radiation. From a panel of candidate drugs which are known to induce autophagy we identified an aminopeptidase inhibitor, CHR-2797. CHR-2797 induces autophagy in the oesophageal cancer cell lines FLO-1 and OE21. Although, our results with CHR-2797 demonstrate it as a potential radiosensitiser, the mechanism of its radiosensitisation needs to be established. Our results from CHR-2797-induced radiosensitisation, further led us to investigate if other aminopeptidase inhibitors have a role in radiosensitisation. Therefore, we selectively screened candidate aminopeptidase inhibitors and identified some promising effects on radiosensitivity.
